We will meet at 10:00 at the parking lot at 156 (?) Center Road, Shirley. There are 2 1/2 miles of trails. When we've had enough, we will eat lunch at Devens at the Natural Cafe and Market at Devens. http://www.thenaturalcafe.biz/ at 176 Jackson Road, If enough people complain, we can go to the Devens Grill http://www.devensgrill.com/ at 4 Ryan's Way in Devens.

Tomorrow is the last day to sign up for a Wachusett season pass at the lowest possible rate. The price increases 100 dollars on Thursday. Please join us using the name Adventurides in the Group Name. If you do sign up, please let me know because the website is not properly listing our members. Feel free to pass this on to friends, family members and neighbors.

We will ride on some gorgeous roads on the way to Nashua. Mines Fall park is unpaved, but mostly easy riding. It's a cool urban park, with a waterfall and canal.

We can have lunch at El Colima in Nashua before heading back. This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants around. It has moved to 116 West Pearl Street. The route here might not be exactly what we ride.

It's the best deal around, and Wachusett Mountain has 3 high speed quad chair lifts (including one for the bunny hill!) and phenomenal snow making and grooming. If you show up on weekdays at 9:00 AM, it's like having your own personal ski area.

You only need to use your pass 5 times to save money. The best part is that you never have to wait in ticket lines.

After skiing, we've been known to go upstairs to the Black Diamond Restaurant for some surprisingly good and inexpensive food while soaking up some sun. Another favorite activity is to get a beer at the Coppertop Lounge and sink into one of the Adirondack chairs on the deck.

Thank you to all AdventuRiders, past and present, who came to the service celebrating Bill's life, sent notes to the family (and me), called, donated, baked, drove and were just generally awesome. Together, we will figure out a special AdventuRides tribute for Bill, but as Gene Autry sang, "It's time to get back in the saddle again." And yes. I had to look that up.

It looks like we will have a glorious week for riding. Monday's temperatures will range from the mid to high fifties. The Lunenberg Senior Center porcelain should be available for us before and after the rides. Friday looks even warmer, with temperatures reaching the high sixties.

On Monday, November 2nd - Lunenburg Center

Please park in the upper lot, between the senior center and the teen center. FYI-it ALWAYS feels colder on the ride than at the starting point.
